The empress is wild and cool, and I'll help her secure her throne

Hearing Ye Qianxuan's words.

Kong Zhongzhi was stunned!

Duan Zhenggang's hand, which was cracking melon seeds, also paused slightly!

A young accountant immediately bowed and asked softly, "May I ask which government office this accountant works for?"

Ye Qianxuan laughed and waved his hand: "I'm not the accountant, I'm the corpse seamstress in Xuanzi Room No. 5."

Gah!

At that moment, the whole audience was in an uproar!

Afterwards, many accountants scattered and uttered a unanimous mockery:

"How ridiculous! I've been an accountant for thirty years, do I still need a corpse-sewer to teach me how to keep accounts?!"

"I am old and cannot learn new things. If you feel that I cannot do it, please ask Confucius to find someone else. Don't let a corpse tailor humiliate me here!"

"I think that strange symbol just now is the totem text for sewing corpses to pray for peace! It's extremely disgusting and despicable! I will definitely not use it!"

"I studied divination diligently and finally secured a position as an accountant in the government office. How could I possibly learn the devious ways of a corpse-stitcher like you?"

When these people heard that Ye Qianxuan was just a corpse tailor, they immediately looked down on him!

Just a lowly person, do you think you have the right to point fingers at them?!

Kong Zhongzhi was also a little embarrassed, thinking to himself, Ye Xiaoyou, Ye Xiaoyou, do you want to pretend to be all the idiots in the world?

It's fine that he can sew corpses, write poems, invent things, and farm, but accounting is a form of numerology, how could you possibly do that?

However, Kong Zhongzhi did not want Ye Qianxuan to lose face at this moment, so he said with a smile:

"The sage said: When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher. I will choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones!"

"Everyone, why not come and listen to what new accounting methods Young Master Ye has in mind? It's not too late to make a choice later!"

Since the Minister of Rites had given the order, the accountants had no choice but to come over reluctantly, with an indifferent and contemptuous look on their faces, wanting to see how Ye Qianxuan would perform.

Ye Qianxuan was not annoyed, but said calmly: "My accounting method is called double-entry bookkeeping. Let me demonstrate it to you."

"President Kong said it well: choose the good and follow it, and change the bad!"

"If you think it's good, use it. If you think it's not good, don't use it."

After saying that, Ye Qianxuan picked up an account book and began to demonstrate the double-entry bookkeeping method.

“Simply put, every income and expenditure is recorded under at least two different names.”

"The results of each income and expenditure are recorded in the name of at least one debit and one credit, and the total amount of the debit and credit of the transaction is equal, that is, 'where there is a debit, there must be a credit, and the credit and credit must be equal'..."

After Ye Qianxuan finished his demonstration, the accountants who were not convinced were all shocked by this accounting method:

"Great! This way of keeping accounts makes income and expenditure clear and easy to see at a glance!"

Ye Qianxuan continued, "The double-entry bookkeeping method I created records each economic transaction with an equal amount in both the source and the destination accounts, creating a numerically corresponding balance between the two accounts."

"If an error occurs in the accounting, this balance will be upset, so the correctness of the account records can be checked by the trial balance method."

"If they really don't match, then it means there's a problem with the accounts, and you can report it to Confucius."

"Using this method, the Ministry of Revenue's accounts can be sorted out in three days."

After listening to Ye Qianxuan's explanation of the advantages of double-entry bookkeeping, many old accountants praised him one after another:

"I've been doing accounting for decades, and I never thought it could be done this way!"

"Every borrowing must be accompanied by a lending, and every lending must be equal! Interesting! Truly interesting!"

"My dear friend, are you really just a corpse sewist?"

Everyone was amazed!

They really couldn't understand how Ye Qianxuan, a corpse seamstress, could create such a genius way of accounting!

Looking at the now concise and clear account book, Kong Zhongzhi was extremely surprised!

This Ye Qianxuan is truly a genius!

He can sew up the demon corpses that all corpse tailors dare not sew, his poetic talent surpasses that of the Southern Wu poet, he can invent honeycomb coal to help the Eastern Zhou Dynasty overcome the heating difficulties, and he can also develop that delicious sweet potato!

The most important thing is that he is also good at accounting!

How could such a versatile person be relegated to the status of a lowly person?

what a pity!

Although Duan Zhenggang didn't understand the merits of this accounting method, but when he saw this group of old accountants change from their initial contempt and disdain to their current humble request for advice, he knew what a great accounting method Ye Qianxuan had invented!

"No wonder this guy is so valued by the Empress and Dean Kong, he really is a genius!"

Duan Zhenggang thought with a click of his tongue, then laughed in his heart—

That Right Minister Yuan is in trouble!

……

Jiaofang Division.

Bai Haiqiu hugged the courtesan Xiang Ning, while Yuan Weizhiz hugged another dancer, and the two started playing.

Although Xiangning was unwilling, she did not dare to resist and could only cooperate!

But the hatred in my heart is about to overflow!

She hoped that Ye Qianxuan’s revenge would succeed soon!

"How is it, are the accounts all right?"

Bai Haiqiu asked breathlessly.

"Don't worry, sir. I have always had my own way of keeping accounts. No one can figure it out except me!"

"Besides, I also piled all my account books from the past ten years in there!"

"With just a dozen or so account offices, it will take at least twenty years to get to the bottom of it!"

Yuan Weizhiz also answered with a breath, his expression full of pride!

"Very good, then let them check it out!"

"When they give up after failing to find out, I'll back you up and use this as an excuse to sue Ye Qianxuan for false accusation and take the life of that lowly corpse-sewist!"

Bai Haiqiu was filled with anger and acted recklessly!

"Thank you, Minister Bai!"

Yuan Weizhi also responded with a laugh.

A lowly corpse seamstress dares to mess with the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites. He is simply courting death!

When Xiang Ning heard this, she felt despair in her heart!

……

That night, Longchi Palace.

The blue bird walked in slowly and knelt outside the Dragon Pond.

"How's the Taichang Temple's investigation going?"

Empress An Luoyu asked in a lazy voice.

In fact, she didn't have much hope of sorting out the Ministry of Rites' accounts.

We can only see how much we can find out, and that’s it!

The bluebird said softly, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites' accounts are too numerous and too messy, and the accountants from the government offices that Duan Zhenggang has contacted are simply unable to sort them out."

The empress chuckled, as expected.

"But thanks to Ye Qianxuan, a new accounting method called double-entry bookkeeping was invented. This accounting method is very clever and very convenient for checking accounts!"

"The old accountants are all amazed at this new way of keeping accounts and are using it with great enthusiasm. Right now, the lights in the Ministry of Rites are brightly lit, and they are checking the accounts all night long!"

"Kong Siqing said that all the accounts of the Ministry of Rites can be checked within three days."

The empress raised her eyebrows at Qingniao's words. With a clatter, she stood up from the Dragon Pool and asked, "This Ye Qianxuan is truly a surprise to me!"

"What new accounting method is there? Show it to me!"

Qingniao immediately took out a Ministry of Rites account book from his arms, which had been verified using the double-entry bookkeeping method, and knelt down to present it to the empress.

After reading it, the empress praised it:

"It's really ingenious!"

"This Ye Qianxuan is truly a talent!"

"I never thought that a mere corpse-sewer could be so powerful!"

"I really want him to serve as an official in the imperial court and be by my side!"

The blue bird did not answer, but there was a storm in his heart!

This is the first time that the empress cherishes a man so much!

That guy, can’t he really be the empress’s destined man?

"Let me think about what reward I should give him this time."

The Empress sat back down in the Dragon Pool, her slender fingers tapping her pretty face, a sinister smile playing on the corners of her mouth...
